Clinton News-Record, 1949-04-14, Page 3THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1949 "The Walk to Emmaus" By "PEG" The NEWS -RECORD regrets to announce that the aceomp- anying article will be the last from the inspired pen of "Peg." Under that nom de plume, Miss Margaret Gertrude Small, Reg.N., has contributed reg- ularly for many years; an, article of a religious nature, from her sick hed'en' the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Dunn Ave., Toronto,. where she suffered with true Christian fortitude. This gifted, deeply religious lady was called to her Reward on Saturday, April 9, 1949. "REQUIESCAT IN PACE!" Many of, Christ's followers think that one of the most beauti- ful of Bible stories is that of the walk to Emmaus of Christ and two of His close followers. Almost to the time of the actual crucifixion of Christ, His disciples thought there was a possibility that He would use His God-given power and in some way free Him- self from the mob,,and announce His Kingship, on Earth. This story is told in Luke, 24th chapter, where Luke tells of sev- eral going to the Sepulchre. They had brought spices, There they found that the body of Christ was not there and were told by the angels "that Christ had risen from the dead" as He had told them while He was yet in Galilee. We can imagine Cleopas anti another follower starting on their trip back to Emmaus. They hod been closely connected with the Saviour. They felt when they came to Jerusalem that He would deela'e His Kingdom, but instead of that He had been arrested, and following an unfair trial, had been sentenced by Pilate to the most horrible death there was— crucifixion. When death at last. released His body from pain, He had been buried in a new tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathaea who had been in contact with Jesus but who had not taken Christ as his personal Saviour. We can imagine the two men, sad at heart, walking along. They. were joined by Jesus, whom they did not recognize. Upon being asked what their conversation was about, in their surprise, they asked Him if He had been in Jerusalem and had not heard of the trial, crucifixion, and the ris- ing again from the dead of Jesus. • DRIVER,?'

It was the courtesy of the land to give such an invitation. Jesus, still un- known to the two men, sat down to meat, with them. As they had walked along Christ had ex- pounded the scriptures to them, but they had no idea that He was the Christ. While they were partaking of the evening meal . their visitor took bread, blessed it and brake it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him. Before anything more could, be said, Christ had vanish- ed.' We cannot imagine the joy which must have come into their hearts when they realized that their Lord end Saviour was again walking on the earth. What did they do? They must have been very tired following all the excitement of the day, and the walk. Perhaps one would not have blamed them if they had, just accepted the fact that Christ was again. with them and had settled down for a good night's rest, but they prepared to' go back to Jerusalem. Here, they found the eleven disciples and those who were with them. There they were told that Jesus had appeared to Peter. We can find a great deal of pleasure in the thought of the followers et Jerusalem lathering around them while they told of how their hearts burned while Jesus talked to them by the way land then the climax where He brake the bread, As we think over this incident are we not ashamed of the cal- lous way in which we go to the Lord's table? Many of us go with no preparation at all. We know not the joy we would re- ceive if we would rise an hour earlier and study the beautiful communion service and go pre- pared to receive the great bles- sing which God has in store for us. We cannot expect Christ's revelation of His supper and the help we would receive from it if we do not go prepared to receive that blessing. The time may come in the life of any one of us when we .can no longer go to God's House to partake of Communion with Christ and His followers, but we realize that Christ understands. When we present ourselves at Christ's table let us never go without meditation and prayer. We have in this story two friends of Jesus 'Christ. They do not understand all that has taken place, but yet they believe on Him, and they are close friends, How grateful we should be when we have e friend whom we can take into our con- fidence, one who is interested in the 'higher things of life, and one who enjoys talking about our Saviour and all His goodness to us! We have no authority to judge our friends. It may be 1 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD OBITUARY MISS MARGARET G. SMALL a ;Presbyterian minister. Friends have learned with regret of the death in Toronto, on Saturday, April 9, of Marg- aret Gertrude Small, Funeral services were held at the Morley S. Bedford Funeral Chapel, 159 Eglington Ave. W„ Toronto, to Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toron- to, on Monday afternpon, April 11. Miss Small' was known to hundreds of NEWS -RECORD readers through her regular con- tributions under the pen name "Peg." Her articles were deeply religious and were just an out- pouring of her own deeply re- ligious life. Miss Small was born at List- owel, a daughter of the late William. and Mary Ann Small. She received her education there and also in Stratford, and grad- uated from Toronto General Hospital, in 1917, receiving her degree of Registered Nurse. For a number of years after her fether died, Miss Small and her (By our Bayfield correspondent) mother lived with Rev. J. L. It was with deep regret that Small, Auburn. a cousin, who was people of this community learn- ed of the death of Miss Mary Gilmour which occurred at her home on Louisa Street, Bayfield, on Monday evening, April 11, fol- lowing a heart attack. She had been ill for only a week. Deceased was a daughter of the late Agnes Baird and John Gilmour end was born December 28, 1873, on the farm on the sec - on concession of Stanley Town- ship where she spent most of her life, She came to the village five years ago with her brother and sister to make their home. Possessed of a keen sense of humor, her kind and neighbourly thought of others won her many warm friends who mourn her loss. She was :a life-long mem- ber of the Presbyterian Church and active in the Women's Mis- sionary Society. She is survived by one sister and four brothers; Mzs. Janet Ross and Hugh Gilmour, Bayfield; Sandy and George, Vancouver, B.C., and Tom, Manitoba. The funeral will be held on Thursday, April 14, at 2,30 p.m. from Knox Persbyterian Church, Bayfield, and interment will be made in Baird's Cemetery, Bruce- £ieId. The sympathy of the commun- ity is with the bereaved ones. 1 Miss Small had been suffering for a great number of years with arthritis, and for more than ten years had been a patient in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Dunn Aver Toronto. During this per- iod she has had about 1,000 visit- ors every year, and all who called to see her always came away feeling that their lives indeed had received a deep benediction. Throughout her long illness Miss Smalls faith in her God was in- deed a light to a great many paths. Following church union, Miss Small became a member of the United Church of Canada and while her health permitted was very active in the life of her church. Miss Smell is survived by two brothers: William L, and James Alvin Small. MISS MART' GILMOUR they are battling against some temptation before which we would "only faint and yield." Next to the love of Christ in our hearts there is nothing so helpful as the trust of a real true friend. Thus, as we visualize these two men as they walked to Em- maus we are not surprised that Christ joined them and walked along with them. When we are with friends do we enjoy talking about Jesus? Furthermore, do we ask God to undertake for our friends? When two or three are gathered together in His name, Christ has promised to be with them so we are not surprised to find that our Saviour is with His two followers as they walked to Emmaus and what a blessing they received from His visit with them! They hed come from Jerusalem to Emmaus, in a very depres- sed state of mind, but although Christ was again invisible to them yet they knew that He was alive for evermore and they went back to Jerusalem in a very dif- ferent frame of mind. They were hurrying to carry the good news to His disciples and friends who had remained in Jerusalem. What an experience that was! We can have the same joyful realization of what Christ means to us. If we confess our sins, that condition must be complied with. If we do that, he is faith- ful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from as unrighteousness. Will we not take the free gift of Salvation and thus have the assurance that we can spend the Eternal ages with Him?
